Hoppings 2014 on Newcastle Town Moor has a reputation for rain. Whether it actually rains or not, the Hoppings is associated in lots of people’s minds with mud and wet weather. But will that still be the case for 2014?

Hoppings funfair takes place on June 20-28 2014, and brings lots of fun to the city. Families and friends love to head down to Newcastle Town Moor and enjoy the Hoppings rides, entertainment and fortune tellers. It’s been a tradition for many years, and was thankfully saved in 2014 after there was a possibility it wouldn’t take place.

And as for the reputation of wet weather...well, it seems to be a mixed bag. The long range weather forecast for June 2014 suggests that the first three days of the Hoppings will see cloud and rain – but the final six days will thankfully be sunny. Of course, forecasts aren’t always right, and this far ahead it’s difficult to know how much faith we can place in promises of sunshine. But let’s stay hopeful – and we’ll keep you updated with weather forecasts closer as the Hoppings approaches.
